But Amazon's vortex is a more welcoming, less expensive, 'what can I do for you' as opposed to Apple's 'don't even thing about that' vortex.
I'm not going to pretend to know how all of this will work out, but I suspect there will be less buyer's remorse among the Amazonians than the iFolks and we're waiting here for you, foghat. See you soon!

Ya. The amazon stuff is starting to come into its own. Does android have a remote app to control the music on your computer? If so which program acts as the player on the pc? Is there an equivalent to airport express where I can tie in literally any set of speakers in my house and have them play music from my music library?
But this is all moot. The big deal breaker for me is you can't even get the fire in Canada nor most (all?) of the amazon music/video services. But, again, even if you could, I don't see the 'killer app' that would convince me to go through the effort of changing.
I used to be pretty hard core in terms getting the fastest/greatest hardware. I would make changes almost just for the sake of change. Not anymore. Like I said, the apple stuff just works and that works for me at this point in my life.
